Testimonials
What our clients are saying about EBI
“Crew did a great job getting IPB opened, inspected, cleaned and regasketed within the scheduled time frame. I touched base with the foreman every morning and he would let me know what their plans were, if they needed anything and how their schedule was progressing. The crew always talked like this was their “own” plant and wanted to make me aware of any issues they found. The crew knew exactly what the work scope was and what was required of them. They worked well with our site staff and were always accommodating when asked questions. Crew followed all site policies and never had an issue with our requests. Would highly recommend EBI to other plants and already have to several in our fleet.Strongest Asset: Your crew in the field and the camaraderie they seem to share. Experience of seeing many plants and understanding what is normal and what is not. “
Chad H. – Maintenance Manager
“Quality craftsmanship in a professional manner. Crews were always on site before shift and always busy in the field. All workers showed a high level of care and pride in everything they did on site.Work was completed ahead of schedule allowing for operations to remove LOTOs ahead of schedule reducing burdens to that department’s resources. Crews worked hand in hand with a local pipefitter contractor and meshed as a team. Supervisor and crew gave valuable insight to issues discovered during execution. Crews adhered to all site safety procedures and went above and beyond those standards. It is always a pleasure to have EBI on site. Their performance and knowledge proves why the company is one of the best in the industry. Strongest Assets: Knowledge and willingness to adapt to all the unforeseen issues that arose. Ability to work with other trades on the same project created a great work environment for all.”
Tim L. – Senior Generation Equipment Specialist
“Frequent interaction with foreman and crew was always a positive and productive dialog. Foreman was prompt in raising issues that needed plant involvement for resolution. All email communication was efficient, timely and effective. We look forward to future projects with EBI.”
John L. – System Engineer
“Best IPB contractor that I have seen at any of our generation stations. Flexible and adaptable to unexpected circumstances and or changes. Very flexible and helped us get back online as soon as could be expected to also deliver a high degree of confidence in our bus system. Quality of work was above and beyond. EBI knows their business. Extremely satisfied.”
B.B. – Electric Systems Engineer

Derek R. – Operations Manager
“Quality of work was top notch. Understood task at hand and the urgency with it. Job was always top focus. Would gladly have this crew back.”
Matt A – Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor
“Our plant looks so much better after your crews fixed our issues. Foremen did a great job of running the crews and advising us on actions that were needed for equipment reliability for the plant long term. Crews showed up on time and would communicate when they arrived, so we could engage security since they were all on visitor badges. Crew would communicate what they needed, and I did not have to continually stay with them, as I have had to do with other contractor groups. All of the work that took place was done with pride, everything that was touched was put back better than we found it. The crews took the time they needed to do it right and safely. The crews understood the procedures and processes we had in place and followed them flawlessly with little help. The crews worked very well together and were efficient in all they did. When asked with questions from the site team, they would calmly answer the questions and explain their point as to why we needed to fix what needed to be fixed. Again, your team did a great job advising us on the direction and used examples of other plants to show us why we needed to do. It was refreshing to work with a crew who understood what it takes to work at a nuclear plant and why we had to do things the way we do. They also did not complain about anything that was asked of them. I was absolutely impressed with the work the crew did in the field. The professionalism in the field as well as in meetings was outstanding. Everyone on site was also impressed at the work the crew did and how quickly it was performed with quality. Strongest Assets: The overall understanding of how these large power systems and the guidance on how to correct the issues. The crews putting their hands on the plant. Very well trained, professional, and hard working.”
Walter K. – Electrical Online Coordinator, Entergy
“I would definitely bring back this crew. All work was done professionally. Minimal direction, no (reliability) issues reported. The crew showed great pride in their work. Very knowledgeable crew. Great to work with. Made good judgement and cleaned up very well. Very safety savvy.”
